Patent EP-2735851-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GEBHARDT STEFAN
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: The method involves vertically inserting a level probe for level measurement primarily in a container, and thus vertically extends into the inserted state in the container, where a measured distance is defined by the level probe formed on an electrode assembly. An additional electrode assembly is formed geometrically at one end of the measuring section, and thus a material-independent detectability is effected at one endpoint. Each endpoint is used to compensate for the systematic distortions caused by changes in permittivity of the filling. An independent claim is included for an apparatus for capacitive level measurement using a level probe, such as a cable probe or a rod probe for level measurement of liquids and solids in a container.
